Underpants Jail
A defunct single-panel web comic by brothers Justin and Dan Pearl.
Many of the comics rely on subverting the established premise or the audience's expectations. Blood and violence are used liberally often crossing the line twice and frequently going with dude not funny style punchlines. The authors enjoy parodying religion and a wide array of other topics, such as movies, classic board games, and genies to name a few.
Compare The Perry Bible Fellowship.
